2011-05-14 - London to Brighton - Mark II

Highlight: the classic cars at the fate in Lindham.

Those were lovely!

You didnt like the entertainment from the drunk chick and her VERY high friend on the train?

All good, some impressive riding considering the condition you were in.

You didn't crash again, Iain, did you?

Lindham.

Lindfield?

You didn't crash again, Iain, did you?

No, I have been inflicted with a bad stomach bug that I thought I managed to shift, but obviously not... Parts of the ride were VERY painful.

Oh dear, I hope it wasn't as bad as the one I had last week. There's no way I could have ridden with that. Commiserations.

Cheers... I dont think it was as bad as ive heard, but it was still brutal. I keep thinking its over but then i eat something...

I just had a vision of CB beating the Lon->Brighton record while trying to find a toilet...

^ this was pretty close to the truth.

@oli, Lind-something :/

Lindisfarne?

The only respite I got was when they went the wrong way gave mean chance to find a pub at the base of ditching.

Worst was when I went in I asked if I could use their WC cause ate somethig dodgy, went I came out the lass laughed at me... I had to slink out of there with my tail between my legs...

Funny though:-)

Sorry to hear you still have gut rot Iain. Really takes the edge off a days riding.

Get day, a pleasure riding with you all. Sorry about taking peeps up the wrong side of the beacon :)

Which, for some of us, meant riding back down and then up the right side.

Fun ride and we were lucky with the weather, given the threat of rain.

you know what they say about yellow bikes in Palace!

I know what they say about you in Croydon...

hahahaha

Great ride, really nice to meet you all too!
Anyone up for meeting the couple we saw on the way back on the train? Apparently they are still up.

hahahaha - the guy certainly is!!!!

That was excellent!
Chainbreaker - sorry your guts gave you grief.

Any plans to do this ride again? Im visiting from Los Angeles riding from Amsterdam to Paris fixed. London to Brighton is on the route. Planning on doing this ride Sunday Jul17.

Also if there are good rides in London to be aware of btw Jul12-16, please plug me in. Cheers

Do the Dunwich Dynamo.

I'm thinking about an LBL on August bank holiday weekend.

Bump. Can anyone point me to the best London > Brighton route so that I can put it on my Garmin and make it take me to the seaside please?
